The Chancellor's Committee on
Student Rights, which is considering the
issue of student participation in the
University, will hold an open meeting
Thursday at 4 p.m. in the Carolina Union.
"We would like to have advice from
students," said Committee Chairman Dr.
Gordon Cleveland. "We are trying our
best to get student opinion."
The Rights Committee met last
Thursday but "very few" students
attended. "We had too much competition
from other campus activities," Cleveland
said. "I believe the students are genuinely
interested in this issue."
The Committee is preparing a report
for the Faculty Council on the kind of
participation that students feel they need
in the decision making process.
'When the report is completed
"sometime next week" the Faculty
Council will be asked to accept it,"
Cleveland said. "We plan to ask them to
pass some specific resolutions."
The 10-member committee, including
four students, has been disappointed in
the lack of student response. "I suppose
students feel that talking to us won't do
any good anyway," Cleveland said.
"However, I want to emphasize that we
are more than an ordinary committee."
He said any resolutions passed by the
Faculaty Council would be "the
equivalent of faculty legislation."
Cleveland said the students his
committee had talked to thus far wanted
more student participation in the areas of
hiring and firing of professors, the
composition of the curricula and the
degree requirements.
"We have found that all departments
and administrative agencies haven't set up
channels of communication between
students, and department heads," he said.
I J'One , of ihssolatiQnsL3Y&ma.x ask.;,
for.-.is that all departments set up a
Regularly meeting advisory committee
composed of students and faculty to
advise the department heads," he
continued.
'I believe that we can increase student
participation by opening the channels of
com munication."

In a letter to the Chancellor, Walter
Baggett specifically, mentioned having
graduate representation on the
Consultative Forum, Publications Board,
Carolina Union Board, Student Stores
Committee and Audit Board.
The letter requested the Audit Board,
which checks the use of student fees by
campus organizations, have 50 per cent
graduate representation "in order to
maintain equality and integrity of
independence in the touchy area of
financial affairs."
Baggett's letter said 'since
undergraduate appointments are made
after spring elections, it would be
advisable to have graduate student
appointments made now to forestall any
misunderstanding."
Baggett indicated the letter was not

Announcement of the winners was
made after five juniors discussed possible
candidates "for-arweek: The students took"
a final vote Monday.
The awards are given in the name of

enthusiasm, adaptability, maturity and
seriousness of purpose.
Undergraduates should have two years
of University work or the equivalent,
graduates must have at least a bachelor's
degree and technical trainees should have
two years experience in a technical field.
The award covers round-trip
transporation, educational, living and
incidental related costs for one academic
year. It will not cover baggage costs above
the accepted limit, transportation costs
while abroad or clothing.
Should a student be sent to a
non-English speaking country, the award
will also cover costs for intensive language
training prior to the beginning of the
school year.
"I think it is a wonderful opportunity
for study," Cathey said. "So far, only
three students have come by to apply."
Cathey said the reviewing committee
will meet some time after April 1 to
review applications following the March
15 deadline.
He will be joined by Dr. B. Franklin
Lowe, dean of Chowan College, and Dr.

."We have been working for
cooperation," Baggett said. "We are
looking forward to the passage of the
undergraduate constitution changes and
the bill concerning our $8,500
appropriation at the Student Legislature
(SL) meeting Thursday night."
The graduate president said he felt
that if these bills were not passed this
week, spring elections and plans for the
1971-72 budget would get in the way of
these present issues.
"Our people are meeting with SL
legislative committees," Baggett said.
"But I have been unable to even talk with
Tommy Bello despite numerous attempts
to contact him.'
Baggett expressed the hope that the
legislative branch of SG would be more
positive toward the graduate organization
than the executive.branch has been.

to pull out and leave them in the cold,"
Baggett said. "On the basis of our
referendum and constitution, we feel we
can do this. We are proving we can put
together a strong government."
Baggett said if the undergraduate
government does not act on graduate
proposals soon, the GPSF would be
reticent to back issues which they might
otherwise be disposed to back those
'hich don't concern them, but do
concern undergraduates.
The GPSF president cited broad
administrative and faculty support for the
federation as the final agreement for the
desirability of cooperation between the
two student governments.
"I don't want to turn to this support,
b"t the lack of cooperation by the
Undergraduate government may force us

For North Carolina State, life in the
Atlantic Coast Conference this year has
been nasty, brutish and short of
expectations.
The Wolfpack can't make up a lot of
lost ground but it can do miracles for its
ego in tonight's game with Carolina,
which gets underway at 9 p.m. in
Carmichael.
Norm Sloan's cagers, ACC champs just
a year ago, bring a mediocre 12-12 record
to Chapel Hill, but the Pack is one of four
teams that has beaten UNC this season.
State is only 5-8 against league
opposition while the Tar Heels, with a

Miss Carson is a member of Phi Beta
Kappa, and. the National Student
Association. She . worked with the U.S.
Department " of Housing and Urban
Development for one summer.
Cohen has been a member of the
Student Legislature since he was a
freshman and has worked for student
rights.
He is a member of the Student Stores
Committee and a former staff member of
The Daily Tar Heel. .
Cohen is a former press aide to U.S.
Senatorial candidate Joe Duffey of
Connecticut and worked in Campaign
General Motors, an effort to improve
consumer protection.
Miss Fletcher is president of the
Panhellenic Council and secretary of Phi
Mu sorority. She is a member of the
Chancellor's Advisory Committee on
Fraternities and Sororities.
She is a member of the Elections
Board and was chairman of the board last
year. She is also a member of the State
Affairs Committee.

for three years and as chief page in the
N.C. House of Representatives during the
last sesson. He was formerly a member of
the Hinton-James Senate.
Flynt said Student Government should
retain a lawyer on a full-time consultant
basis. "In a recent case involving six
University students, the students were
tried and convicted without counsel," he
said.
If elected, Flynt said, "I will take the
salary paid to the student body president
and use it to supplement the legal aid
fund."
The presidential candidate said the
University should abolish its regulation
requiring junior transfer students to live
in University housing. "I will firmly
support the right of every student, with
the exception of first semester freshmen,
to choose where he or she wants to live,
either on or off campus."
Pointing out the lack of a codified
constitution, Flynt promised to give each
student a copy of the student
constitution and budget, so students can
see -where and how their money is being
spent.

10-2 ACC mark, can wrap up the regular
season championship with a win.
The Pack dumped Carolina 82-70 in
December and fought the Tar Heels to
the last second in losing 65-63 last
month.
Although Sloan owns little but a
colossal headache for his season of
coaching, a victory in this regionally
televised battle would give him the
distinction of besting Carolina two out of
three times.
Doing that kind of job on a team with
a 19-4 record, especially if the team v
your fiercest rival, is a powerful remedy
for a coach's ails.
The Wolfpack, which has beaten
Carolina just once in Sloan's tenure, has
given UNC a hard time this year with its
physical defensive style.
Front court operatives Paul Coder,
Rick Holdt, Dan Wells and Bob Heuts
combine with guards Ed Leftwich, Al
Heartley and Bill Benson to form an
inconsistent but thoroughly pesky lineup.
Coder, the 6-9 junior center, and
sophomore backcourt man Benson were
the most troublesome when the Pack
flattened Carolina in Greensboro. Then
Leftwich asserted himself in the tight
struggle in Raleigh.
The league's highest scoring team with
an average of 86.4 points a game,
Carolina has had difficulty coming close
to that figure against the Wolfpack.
The Tar Heels had a dismal shooting
night in the fust game with State and
encountered a sustained dry spell after
opening a 15-point lead in the second.
Carolina is coming off a sparkling
performance last Saturday at Virginia,
however. The Tar Heels made 61 per cent
from the floor against the Cavaliers in a
75-74 triumph.
If the team will draw inspiration from
the fact that it can clinch the ACC title
against arch-rival State, it will get still
another decided boost from the occasion
of five seniors putting in their final home
appearances.
Center Lee Dedmon, making a strong
but what may prove to be a belated bid
for all conference recognition, is the lone
senior starter.
But forward Dave Chadwick and guard
Dale Gipple are top flight reserves while
forward Don Eggleston and guard
Richard Tuttle will also be making their
last bows in Carmichael.
Adding these factors together, it's
entirely possible that Sloan won't leave
Chapel Hill feeling any better than when
he arrived. That's the way it is,
sometimes, in the ACC.

Fiynt said he will work closely with
the director of the Carolina Union "to
bring in more nationally known groups to
Carmichael Auditorium for the late fall,
winter and early spring." .
